Eve made her first solo performance on Saturday afternoon. Our lounge was full of friends; Eve was having a great time and obviously felt very comfortable in their presence. She had been asking us all week about Mike and Barney, who were coming to visit, as the last time they stayed with us she adored playtime with Mike.
Sam and I loved watching her playing on the floor with him. She was rolling around laughing, playing with bubbles and various other games. She brought out her karaoke disco machine to show him, and suddenly burst out into song. She sang with confidence in front of us all which made me and Sam so proud. She definitely gets her love of performing from her Dad. That kind of thing is my worst nightmare ;-)
Beagle, Olivia, their dog Luna and a friend called Oli were also with us on Saturday afternoon, so it was a full house. By the time they arrived, Sam and I were tired already and were necking back coffee. We had taken Eve shopping in Cabot Circus that morning to get her fitted for some new Clarks shoes, she is now a 5F. We were pleased at how well she behaved during the trip. I bought her a little pink toy kitten as a treat, which she chose herself. She was completely thrilled with it and has been sleeping with it each night.
Before we left the shopping centre we let Eve have a go on a kids ride-on car. We didn't bother putting any money in it; she simply enjoyed being in it moving the steering wheel!

The weather was fantastic on Saturday and Sunday; spring has really sprung, flowers are everywhere and the trees are blossoming too. We took a few walks to different parks over the course of the weekend; we all enjoyed feeling the warm sun on our faces.

We chilled out at home on Saturday evening with our friends drinking and eating pizza's. It's still a rare occurrence seeing people during the evenings on the weekend so Sam and I got really involved having a good time. As can be expected, we both felt pretty worse for wear on Sunday. But heading out into the sunshine with Eve and our friends was just what the doctor ordered.
After the park session Eve slept in her pram, which was perfect as it meant that we could go and relax outside the Star and Dove pub in Totterdown together. Eve woke up after an hour, so I nipped her inside to the ladies, where she used the potty. At nursery they automatically stick her on the potty as soon as she wakes up, but last week she woke up from her nap and said that she needed to use the potty. They asked her if she needed help, but she said no and went off and used the potty alone. She is doing so well with it, mummy is most pleased.
This past week Eve has been telling me that she doesn't want to wear a nappy at bedtime. Each time I turn the light out she then tells me that she does want it on, so I have obliged. I'm kind of following her lead. I might try her without a nappy at night-time over Easter weekend when I don't have to work, so that if I have to get up in the night it won't be such an issue. She does still have the occasional accident at nursery so I am slightly wary and don't want to push her.

We had such a fab time catching up with our friends, and the good weather made it all the better. Though, as old age approaches, Sam and I have found this week a bit tricky as we have felt so tired. I know that we are both looking forward to our family weekend, which is coming up directly, before Daddy heads off to DJ in Greece next week.
